BNW vs SIT - which do you prefer?

[Spiff]

I think there are at least four songs on SIT that are inferior to "Stranger...". "Deja Vu", anyone? "Heaven Can Wait", anyone? "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner", anyone (even though it was in my head for the entire two hours it took me to walk up and down King's Canyon)? "Alexander the Great", anyone?

Stranger In A Strange Land is the second best song on the album! (Wasted Years being first )

 

[Tough As Steel]

I really like Deja Vu. Not so keen on Stranger In A Strange Land. I don't think there is a bad song on SIT, but rather I dont consider any of them to be Maidens best.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Deja-Vu is quite possibly the most underated Maiden song of all!!

 

[Spiff]

Uh, no, that would be "Hooks In You". That song rules so much it's not funny!

 

[Tough As Steel]

Absolutely - i just wish Adrian had of stuck around to play on that track. I love it after the solo...and Bruce screams woooooAAAHHHHH-YEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!!! Got it wrapped up tight...

That sends shivers down my spine - every time!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Thats also a great song, but come on, 'Deja-Vu' rules!!

I agree!!!! A forgotten gem!!!

Hooks in the ceiling for that well hung feeling........

 

[Wrathchild]

Deja Vu is the single that never was. I love that song .

Which do you lot think is best out of Stranger and Sea of Madness? I like both, but I'm leaning towards the latter because of the quiet mid-section/solo part.

Stranger!

 

[Tough As Steel]

Sea Of Madness.

Years ago, before the times of CD players (I know some of you might be too young to remember there being such an era) I used to listen to "Somewhere In Time" on my walkman in bed of a night... and I would *always* fall asleep during "Sea of Madness"! Great song, but I prefer "Stranger".

 

[Wrathchild]

Ah, the dim dark days in the time before CD players. I remember borrowing SIT on cassette from the library (as I did with most Maiden albums), listening to it for the first time and discovering that Maiden weren't scary after all .

I listened to it several more times that weekend as I tried to work out how to dub a copy, reading 2000 AD comics all the while. Ah youth...

Ah, 2000 AD. Judge Dredd ruled back in the day when I used to read him... went downhill after "Necropolis", though.

I AM THE LAW!

I much prefer 'Sea Of Madness' to 'Stranger..'. As I said, it aint that bad a song, but nothing on the rest of the album IMO.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Sea Of Madness is much better

Cool song Spawny (I Am The Law I mean hehe)

 

[Spiff]

I wonder how the new Judge Dredd flick is shaping up. Hope it's better than the old one (which was actually not all that bad, once I got around to seeing it).

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I didn't mind it at all honestly!
